I share your frustration. Reality has taken a back seat to regulation which in itself is becoming more disconnected with reality every day. Remember the day when the automakers could build cars, and not just a regulator's or legislator's (whom may or may not have relevant knowledge of the field) blueprint of what they think transportation should be?
This ↑↑↑. With relevant knowledge and understanding of the field held subordinate to the agenda of the moment and the required "cost studies" undoubtedly biased a bit
